Go Ahead, Seaver
By Phil Rizzuto
You know,
Some kid wrote me a letter.
You and Murcer,
I know,
Every time Murcer says
I make oh for four and two errors.
Some guy wrote,
Which I haven’t gotten yet,
He wrote it to Yankee Stadium,
But by the way,
You’re doing the play-by-play, Seaver.
So go ahead.
I was gonna tell you something,
But I forgot what it was.
Go ahead.
Notes:
July 1, 1991
Cleveland at New York
Lee Guetterman pitching to Chris James
Seventh inning, no outs, bases empty
Yankees lead 6-2
